INTERSTATE RULINGS.

WASHINGTON, July 2O.-The Interstate
Commission to-day dismissed the following
cases: The Chicago & Alton against Penn
sylvania. Rock Island against New York
Central, F. D. Harding against the Chicago
& St. Paul and Omaha and M. A. Fulton
against the same, both for alleged discrimi-
nation in rates.
| WASHINGTON, July 2o.-The cases of the
Alton and Rock Island roads, dismissed. are
noted complaints. Those companies
complained against the Pennsylvania and
New York Central roads respectively, for
discrimination in the 'boycott" against
complaints. because of their refusal to SUBJ
scribe to the agreement of the trunk lines
not to pay commissions to ticket agents.
This boycott consisted of refusal on the
part of defendants to sell through tickets
over the complaints roads from Chicago to
Kansas City and St. Louis.
THE DECISION OF THE COMMISSION
says in the part after detailing the circum-
stances of the case at great length that the
offences of which it has cognizances are
any thing done in the contravention of the
provisions of the act to regulate commerce.
The law in this instance does not in terms
require one railraod company to sell through
tickets over the road of another company.
In the absence of statutory authority one
road can only sell tickets and check bag
gage over another by mutual agreement.
II the companies can agree upon this they
have the right to do 20, and by this agree
ment become Interstate carriers, but if
they cannot agree the act does not under
take to coerce them. Assuming,
60 $ha kn par,f
that through tickets may be
deemed Facilities" for receiving,
forwarding and delivering passengers to
connecting lines carriers are only required
to afford reasonable, proper and equal fa-
ciities. This presents the question wheth-
er the payment Of the Commission is in
itself or is incidental to the enjoyment of
facility reasonable and proper within the
purview of the statutes.
THESE COMMISSIONERS ARE GRATUIToUs
to induce special efforts for the company
paying them. If the statute does not give
one company authority to subsidize the
agents of another company and if the
practice is injurious in it's effects. it certain.
lay cannot be reasonable and proper. The
statute does not divest railroad company
of the exclusive right to control it's own
internal affairs, to employ it's own
agents, to regulate their duties, cOmpensa-
ton, etc. With the legitimate exercise of
these powers another company has no con-
cern and no right to intermeddle. The de-
fendant companies have forbidden their
agents to receive these commissions from
other companies, and directed them not
to sell over the roads of the companies
that refuse to recognize this corporate au-
thority, but insist upon subsidizing the
agents.

WESTERN FARMERS,
Some Pertinent Facts Worthy of Calm
and Early Consideration.

Some Pertinent Facts Worthy of Calm
and Early Consideration.
There is no denying the fact that, I'M
der the influence of depressed prices, a
large proportion of the farmers of the
country have been exceedingly FESTIVE.
But this is what all men are who are
making no money. Wheat at the
prices that prevail in the interior. that
is, in the States west Of the Mississippi
river, is grown at loss; certainly a
loss, it due account is taken of the wear
and tear of machinery, and of the mus
Gle and frame of man and beast. He
is wise farmer who is able to settle
the question as to what he can grow
upon the farm that will, without any
question, bring him profit as the
times now are. Certainly it is not
wheat, nor corn, nor oats, for ship
ment Then, will it pay to feed corn
and oats and sell well-bred cattle and
hogs at 81 80 or so per hundred, after
paying we'll toward 81 per hundred
pounds, as is done in many localities,
for freight to get them to market9
Discomfort, however strong the will
may fight against it. can not be kept
down when, in close times, it seems I'M
possible to settle the question: lis
there any thing that we can do on the
farm that will yield a protit?' Expert
ments DO not ALWAYS seem to satisfy.
Especially do they not when they seem
to prove different from what is desired.
When they often show to an Eastern
farmer, that in feeding lot of cattle.
his expenses for feed, shipping and cara
exactly balance with the total returns
when sold, how does he reason in such
case, but to say, ''the manure left on
the land is my profit" and this covers
all the processes of growth and feedine.
A forced conclusion of this kind is poor
comfort indeed to Western man, He
is not ready to believe that
Will very likely think differently
some day, put that prospects
keeps out no portion of growing dig
content now. Too many Western farm
ers are fretted by being the owners Of
too much land. Very few SO situated
ever acknowledge this, yet the burden
OF taxes they are required to meet pre-
vents their doing the one thing most
reed1ul' or at any rate, is one of the
hlndrances. The one thing needful is
slnply doing what all successful mer-
centlle men do, once year, take an &C.
count OF stock, marking down shade
on out-of-date, things, filling up with
improvements, those things
only that are wanted at top-payinr
prices. The merchant pays no more for
rent and help with these than he does
when he has the cuttings, and the same
rule appI e5 to the farmer.
